I wish our limit here was lower for my government project i wrote the senators a letter telling them to review the tint limits haha

50% is stupid. not even worth it, IMO. And when was the last time we had an issue with officer safety where they were injured or killed in the state of MN due to not being able to see inside the car? Never. Atleast from what i researched. MN is just full of dumb laws.

IF you have a spoiler high-mount, congrats, you don't need the cutout. If you're a baller and you're wingless, you need it. Period. Form. Follows. FUNCTION.

How was it not functional? Explain that to me Janik.

I VERY rarely carry more than 1 passenger. The tC had FAR more cargo space when the rear seats were folded down (before my abnoxious system).

Ford Excursion Turbo Diesel (for my needs): Too many doors. Too high. Terrible gas (fuel) milage. Polutes the environment something fierce.

you tell ME what's functional.

It was a 2 door coupe. If you ever carried people you would have to fold down the seats and it would be a pain.

To me? If i needed somthing that worked purely on function, i'd buy a Suburban. Hauls people, and ****.

What other functions do you need? lol

I don't need the functions you need. Really though, these aren't "functions", they're practicalities.

I have the cutout. Looks fine to me. Of course mine's only 35% so maybe it's not as weird looking.

My fronts are 50% and the rears are 35%. I wish I could do 35% all around, but I live in California. No aftermarket tint allowed on the fronts at all. I figured the contrast would make the front windows seem somewhat stock. No trouble so far.

Try living in PA. We aren't allowed to have tint AT ALL! I really want some but man do I hate getting pulled over or fined. Problem is it gets so freakin' hot with that black interior...boiling!

ran with 0% in the front for 2-3 yrs without a ticket, finally got one in rockwall

but i had been pulled over several times for speeding/registration, always just rolled all 4 windows down immediately after stopping

only reason i took it off was for vehicle inspection and bubbling

replaced it with 5% a few months ago, no problem since.

i'm a desert platinum sedan, plain jane compared to most cars
